Arrival and the door code
The wharf-side door opens on a code issued with your confirmation — it changes nightly and it's yours alone. Guests arrive individually or in pairs; a group of ten at an unmarked door defeats the purpose of the door.
If you're running late, tell the desk — the code stays valid but the room's rhythm is built around your arrival time. Twenty minutes late without a call is the only arrival faux pas that matters.
At the table
The dealer runs the shoe; the host runs the evening. Both roles are clear and both deserve the same courtesy — the dealer isn't staff to be directed mid-hand, and the host isn't a dealer to be asked for rulings over dinner.
Phones stay in pockets during play. Photos of your own table are fine; the room's rule is that other guests don't appear in your frame. The house's own cameras stay off — discretion cuts both ways.
